Loved the pasta here and will definitely come back again! I’ve been to this restaurant twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. I would definitely recommend to make a reservation for dinner time. The parking nearby is limited but not impossible to find. For the food, we ordered a few pasta dishes: 1) Pappardelle Alexandra (10/10). This is the broad ribbon pasta with crab meat. This dish is unique, full of flavors from the crab, you can taste the chewy noodles that are hand-made. Everything about this dish was wonderful and we ate every last bite of it! 2) Penne Santa Rosalia (9/10). This is the eggplant penne dish. The sauce had a strong tomato + ricotta cheese taste. Typically the ricotta cheese creates a heavy taste, but the tomato sauce balances it out perfectly. The eggplant was crisp on the outside and soft in the inside. We really enjoyed this dish too! 3) Gnocchi Alla Genovese (5/10). This dish was not quite what we expected for gnocchi. The dumplings were not chewy and had an extremely soft texture due to the fact that they were made from potatoes. We ended up returning the dish and chose something else. The waiter was very nice and helped us return this dish. 4) Lasagna Rustica (7/10). On the first bite, this dish was full of great flavors; the sausage and fennel seeds (I think) really stands out. However after eating half of it, the taste got a bit boring.

After months since my first visit, I come back for the review. We were really enjoy visit Paesano and impressed by their service. My server was very patient and considerate, even in the busy time. The food was good and the kitchen splits the main course evenly for us. It is not common to see a restaurant like Paesano provide a comfortable dining environment with good food and very good service with $$ price. Absolutely worth visiting again.

I am really pleased with this place . I tired this place for the first time with a group of 7 and a baby and was very delighted with the service. Though the location is not too big in size . I enjoyed the family style and feel I got . They have a bar as well and I enjoyed the pomegranate margarita. I had 3 of them . Very tasty and well in potency .seating inside and a few outside with covering so your not too cold . Parking can be a little bit of challenge of you are not familiar with the area . Although they have plenty of parking being that it is in the city . Nice little park behind if you want to take a stroll before or after your date . Great date option for sure if you want to impress . I parked at star parking . I’ll leave the photo for reference .

This is the best Italian restaurant I have been to in South Bay area. While it's expensive, we felt everything we tried is worth. If I were to be picky, Tiramisu tasted a bit diluted. I found this quite often in places where they make desert in house.
